Tasting profile
Complex and elegant on the nose, with tertiary notes of forest floor, mushroom, dark plum, and prune layered over ripe fruit and a touch of oak. Full-bodied and warm in style yet balanced, with fine acidity, integrated tannin, a hint of sweetness, and a notably long, smooth finish.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.

- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 2,410.
